President Obama waved goodbye to the Oval Office on Friday, but it was an eventful final morning. “I’m afraid he’ll have to serve the whole term” insisted the outgoing Commander-in-Chief as he refused to commute Emerson Hyndman’s Rangers contract.

Obama was joined by Bill Clinton at the inauguration, like Pep Guardiola and Louis Van Gaal turning up to watch Barcelona unveil new boss Kenny Shiels. “A loudmouth egomaniac vowing to take the country by storm? I give him 4 months before he’s run out of town” remarked political commentator Joey Barton.

It was nice then to get away from the political division, hate-filled rhetoric and Twitter arguments between both sets of supporters and witness the return to action of the Old Firm. Yes, the football is indeed back. Specifically, the 4th round of the Scottish Cup. I should probably then pick up my Scottish Cup coverage from where I left off.

’89 Hibs tiring. Rangers winner looks inevitable.

’90 Corner to Hibs. Rangers are good at defending these. Still 2-2.

Unfortunately I’ve lost the rest of it, as a Hibs fan landed on my phone shortly after. I’ll just write it off as a Gray area. Long-suffering Hibs fans had cause for celebration as their side ended a miserable run of 255 days without winning a Scottish Cup match. Rangers, meanwhile, were made to sweat for victory against Mark ‘sunshine, lollipops and rainbows’ McGhee’s Motherwell side at Ibrox.

Louis Moult gave Motherwell the lead following a pinpoint cross from Peter Lawwell, but Rangers were ultimately saved by a late double from Kenny Miller . Saturday was breaking point for Twitter user @KennyMiller17, who felt moved to point out that “I have the same name as a professional soccer player. I am not him. People are hitting me up left and right, congratulating me on my soccer game. I’m an 18 year old American kid”. Of course, that’s EXACTLY what Kenny Miller would say.

Twitter being Twitter Kenny’s protestations fell on deaf ears, with notable responses including @nedyyyyx’s comforting “all seriousness well played king Kenny no surrender” and @teknotatt’s more succinct “well played big baws”. Somewhere right now a Celtic fan plots a tweet about the old Kenny dying and the new Kenny keeping the old Kenny’s name or something.

Celtic fans maintained their usual pre-draw tradition of tweeting “Act shocked when we get drawn away lads”, and were then disappointed to be drawn at home. Ever resourceful, #CelticTwitter dusted off the old favourite “I see Sevco got a home draw surprise surprise”.

Even if your Saturday night involved the classic Nice ‘n’ Sleazys Russian trilogy (white, black, under-rated gingerbread) or a Rod Stewart cup draw special, your Sunday morning won’t have been as painful as Andy Murray’s. News of the world number 1’s surprise exit from the Australian Open was swiftly processed by Facebook’s middle-aged men who issued a statement confirming that “Looks like Andy Murray’s Scottish again lol”. “Murray’s a bottler” added respected pundit Yer Da, who pays extra for bumpers when he plays against Yer Maw at Hollywood Bowl.
